Allan,Ah, I see. Well, it is a minor pain to boot up and update either one just to run a scan. Do you see any problems if I have both of them "resident"? I have Spybot resident and scan with that every week or 2.

CPU usage.I think things may have calmed down since I installed Avast and removed Ad Aware. Previously, at least one AVG file and Ad Aware file were sucking CPU usage. Now, here is what I see.

I have Gmail open and this page open while looking at the task manager, just so you know.

System Idle Process -- usually around 79-82%, but drops to 60 or 54 momentarilyThe following other items run at 1-7% usage, fluctuating every second.ClientMgr2.exeCM303_STI.EXEtaskmgr.exefirefox.exeexplorer.exeashWebSv.exeservices.execsrss.exe

I don't know why explorer is running since I have IE but don't use it.Firefox.exe is the only one that seems to jump up to as high as 22-23% momentarily even though I'm just sitting there watching the task manager and not doing anything with those 2 things open.

I installed that program. There wasn't much in the way of data for the sensor:

Sensor type: ACPICPU temperature: 52C 127F

SpeedFan says the same (53 C). It also said CPU usage was holding at 100%, which was weird since I only had SpeedFan and this site open. I confirmed with Task Manager, and noticed it was between 30% and 100% (rechecking SpeedFan showed this fluctuation, too). Something called cfp.exe was sucking about 80% CPU usage. Never saw that file before.
